Reuben Foster, Alabama’s best recruit so far in its stellar class, has dropped the Crimson Tide and is now on board with bitter rival Auburn, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported late Thursday afternoon.

Foster is enrolled to play his high school football at Auburn High School this fall, so it’s not as though he’s unfamiliar with the town or campus. He had played at Troup High School last year in Georgia before transferring to Auburn High after a coaching change at Troup. He’s now a high school teammate of two sons of Auburn assistant coaches, the newspaper reported. Trooper Taylor, one of Auburn’s top recruiters, has a son on the team.

There have been rumblings the past few weeks that Foster might be considering Auburn. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound linebacker is No. 11 overall in the Sporting News Top 125.

“At the end of the day, I feel like Auburn is the best situation for me and my family,” Foster told reporters at a press conference. “I am 100 percent confident in my family decision.”

Foster immediately assumes the position of Auburn’s top recruit, while tight end O.J. Howard is now the highest-rated member of the Alabama class in the Sporting News Top 125.
